Default Pretty easy. Make sure the crank is correct (use the pin), and then use the bar to correct the cams.
Not much to it.

Default If you give a location or post on your local forum, someone nearby might help.
Just out of curiousity, why did you take the belt off.

Use the crank lock pin. The notch is not on the block, it's on the timing belt cover

Default You have to loosen the cam gears or you'll never get correct timing. Marking the gears won't work.
Even if the cam gears don't move during the change, they will when you tighten the new belt.
